Maybe they should move the case to DC then so there are enough active Top Secret clearances to create a healthy jury pool.
No defense/prosecutor would want a jury make up like that, they'd be too smart.
Clearance doesn't mean someone is particularly intelligent. But I agree a jury of clearance holders would probably have pretty strong ideas regarding proper handling of it, so the defense clearly doesn't want that.
Those people could easily imagine themselves in the hot seat and they know damn well how it would go.
Agree, not good for the defense.
I'm pretty sure it would weed out the bottom of the barrel idiots at least which I'm sure someone would prefer to have on the jury as they'd be easier convinced one way or the other.
Also more conservative than not.
